Gaining Weight

[Guest guest]

Building muscle is a good way to gain weight, and exercise will do

this. Just start gently, perhaps taking daily walks and getting a

good pair of 5 lb. dumbbells. I use the " 8 minutes in the morning "

routine, which works well for me.

You might also maybe read the book " Raw Power " By S. Arlin, about

bodybuilding and a raw diet, some good tips in there.

Be gentle with yourself, take it slow and steady like the tortoise.

Also it is not necessarily eating more in quantity, but the types of

food, perhaps tweeking the " ratios " of your foods, leaning more

heavily on soaked/sprouted nuts and seeds and fat, and less of the

leafy greens and fruit.

Just a thought.

While there is good reason to start exercise programs gradually, I

have read and heard information that suggests it is the short bursts

of strenuous exercise that builds muscle the best. Also, many suggest

focussing on the greens and avoiding concentrated fats and proteins

for building muscle and having ideal health. Not having all those

large fat cells in the blood stream allow more room for oxygen and

other nutrients to get to the body's tissues. All the fruits and

greens we eat contain fats, so we will still be getting fats in our

diet.
